Break Down The Lockdowns

This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake. Here a great American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. The CIA analyst. Remember he's a great guy. No, welcome to Buck Sex and show everybody. I trust you

had a good weekend. Able to relax a little bit, try to get ready for another week in this changed country we live in, but hopefully temporary, temporary if we keep our wits about us, if we understand that what is going on in the country is largely now unfortunately of our own making, that this was a decision, that this was not a necessity we did not have to go into a depression, and that the data does not support at this point the continuation. Let's put aside from

moment whether we should have done this at all. The data increasingly looks like it does not even support that we should. Well, we should have done in the past, but we also should certainly not continue this any longer into the future. This has gotten completely and utterly out of control, all right, And of course absolute and maximum control is the purpose behind it. It's out of our control.

It's in the hands of the government, of our overseers, of the bureaucratic overlords that now get to determine whether you can leave your house, whether you can open your business, do your job. They know. The CUOMO briefing now in New York, for example, is all right today another day, numbers down, good, okay, Next slide numbers down good okay. Now everyone, I'm going to repeat everything I've already said.

What do I mean by that? What I mean is that repetition is when you've said something and you say it again for clarity, or perhaps because you have already said it and you don't know what else to say. You know, these are the things that you're hearing from from Governor Cuomo, who has I think a lot to answer for. In New York, you're also seeing the fight over budgets, over federal money. I mean, all this is

going to continue to play out. So before we can even really deal with a lot of the problems that we are seeing, the first step is going to be letting us out of our gosh darn houses for more than just the essential needs. It is time for us to go outside, you know, here in the city. I mean, I can't speak to what it's like elsewhere across the country right now. I can't speak to what you're seeing in in your town or your city. But in New York, I will say, over the weekend, I was out, I

was walking. I do not wear a mask in open air. I don't do this to be defiant. I just refuse to cave to this bizarre insistence, despite the lack of evidence for it, that wearing a mask makes you safer, that wearing a mask makes you better in open air, in public indoors. I will say, there's a major CDC study about influenza, so maybe you could say, well, this is so different from influenza. Although nobody would really be able to explain to you that's the case. In terms

of transmission. Maybe it's a bit more transmissible, but the similar mechanism. Certainly, there is that CDC study that said they're not even really sure that masks do all that

much from influenza. I mean, I think a part of it would be if the virus can get inside either through your you know, it's able to either get behind the mask if it's aerosol eyes, or if you touch your face even with a mask, it's then able to get in, or perhaps it goes I would assume it's possible that you can get the virus in your eye, which means that if there are a cloud particles unless you're wearing I mean, if there are particles of it in a cloud, you would think then you could get

it without unless you had goggles on. Anyway, I don't wear a mask out in public for those for those reasons, and people look at you strangely. Here. Now this has become a very explicitly political decision, and it's really also a virtue signaling exhibition. Now it's like, if you wear a mask, your showing everybody that you're a good person. If you were a mask. You're showing everybody that you care about the next person. And here is a woman

on social media. I don't know who she is, but this one viral over the weekend and there's all this talk of Karen Karen is Pruiser Marcus. Karen is a is a kind of prototypical upper middle class white woman from the suburbs who wants to tattle on everybody. Is that Is that a fair description of what a quote Karen is. Yeah? And she has the I want to talk to your manager look on her face. Yeah, right right,

she always wants to talk to your manager. Here is a woman named Rebecca Brand who was videotaping herself horrified there were people on a beautiful sunny day at the beach, in open air, not dressed like they're in you know, not in hazmat suits. Play clip one. Oh my god, not one person with a mask on. Everybody is here and nobody Yeah, oh my god, look at all those people. There's like twenty what their heck? What are we doing? Entire people? Hi, I'm Rebecca Brand and I'm flipping out.

Because Governor Knewsom announced it this friday, we are no longer going to be on total lockdown. We're opening back up. I'm flipping out because people haven't been wearing masks and this is going to be even more loosey goosey than ever before. I think it's all going to go downhill from this point on, as people start mingling more, doing more,

getting on the street, buying more. All of that, as you know, is opening up for the COVID nineteen to take over in that coronavirus, to just decimate our towns wherever we live. And with people not wearing masks, I am no longer protected from their sneeze, their cough, they're spewing because they're talking loud to me because they're still happy to see me. Gosh, we better just wear masks forever. Oh gosh, Yeah, all those people, I'm no longer protected.

You're in an open air. The chance of you receiving enough viral load on a beach near Sault Water with the blasting sunlight, somebody would have to be effectively spitting in your face, based on all the science based and everything that we've seen, all the studies that have done highly highly unlikely. But this is the attitude you're going to have. No, we have to break people of this attitude. This is what has to happen. We have to break people. You must do what I say because you no longer

have freedom based on my fear. Fear does not get to eradicate freedom. This is what There's a lot of people in this country that have to learn this lesson. You don't get to say, well, I'm concerned. I have an irrational, even unscientific concern about the spread of this disease, and therefore you will do what I say because I'm so scared. And the people in charge are too cowardly

and too reckless to accept that. They've made terrible decisions along the way, and now what they really need to do is take on the mantle of the restoration of freedom that needs to happen in this country. They won't do that because that comes with risk, and as we know, politicians, they don't like risk. Politicians don't want the possibility of being told that they're letting people die. They also don't

want to seed power. They don't want to hand back to us the authority that they have taken for themselves. And I would just tell you, my friends, and let's never forget this. The biggest lesson in this mess. The biggest lesson of all is never willingly hand over all your rights and freedom to government. Government is not your friend. As you know, government is not going to keep you safe and warm at night. But if you meekly obey, it will allow halfwits to force a depression and lock

you in your house. And that's where we are now, that's what we have been suffering through. Someone explained to me, why is it the case that in Europe, including in countries that have a much higher per hap at a death rate than we do in Europe, you have countries that are opening up cafes, restaurants, and schools, whole countries, and yet we still have here in New York City. Oh no, you can't go into a coffee shop, you

can't open a retail store, you can't do these things. California, which has been very moderate in the cases that it has had, right, it has a moderate level. It has not had a true crushing epidemic, and it's very fortunate in that regard. California is now saying they're going to be locked down to what July maybe August. The economic devastation from all this is going to be mind blowing.

When we finally understand it, and the trillions of dollars that are at stake mean the politicians, like little piggies at the trough, are all trying to make sure that they get not just their share, more than their share because it benefits them to do so, and all the while they have these people yelling, we need more tests, we need more testing. That's what the lockdowners yell problem is. We already have, even here in New York City, a

dramatic overcapacity for testing. We're only using about a third of the testing capacity that we currently have. One third, and you know what we're being told, now, go get more tests. People don't want to get more tests. I don't want to show up and get a swab in my nose for no reason I have no symptoms unless I have a reason to do this, if I'm going to be around people that are particularly at high risk, or if there's some And how often am I supposed to do this? I could get a swab and be

infected tomorrow and be contagious in four days. So how much how much asymptomatic testing are they really expecting we do? They haven't thought this one through, they haven't worked it out yet but once again obey the expert's hysteria drowns out the obvious reality here that everybody can see. But that's not going to stop them. Are my friends out in KiB Los Angeles Land? Here is what Gavin Newsom

is saying about schools in your state. Play eleven. President Trump is vound that quote schools are going to be open? Is he right? We'll school schools in California be open this fall. I think some schools will not be. Many schools will be. And it's all conditioned on our ability to not only keep our children safe, but to keep staff and faculty stafe, to seek the community safe. So it's all predicated on data, on science, not just observed evidence.

The reality on the ground. Each part of California is unique and distinctive eatregion, each region of the United States is unique and distinctive, and certain conditions will present themselves favorably, some unfavorably. So I think it's a it's a question that is a difficult one to answer in absolute terms. There's nuance, but we are moving forward in hope and expectation that we can start that school year very strategically and methodically, again based upon the health as a prime

frame of reference in terms of dust decisions. Man, a lot of smooth talking blah badey blah from that guy, blat of talking around in circles. Here's what the answer should be. Children are at almost zero risk from this disease, and children are very unlikely to be vectors passing it to adults. Not impossible, but very unlikely. Again based on now we have studies. Now we have additional data and science. When all these decisions were made two months ago, it

was projections, it was fear. It was oh my god, look at what happening. What's happening in Italy, and look what's going to happen here? And we were told that the storm was coming. Battened down the hatches. Do what we say, Yeah, we'll do that for a few days, maybe a few weeks. We're not going to do it for months. It's time for mass non compliance. I'll get more into that later on, but people should refuse some

of these stupid orders. I'm happy to see this gym owner in New Jersey who's saying, no, I'm going to open up my gym. Okay, people can go to the gym. You know what can happen if you go to the gym, even in pre pandemic times, you can get mersa. It has happened before. You can get antibiotic resistant bacteria from working out of the gym. It has happened to people, and that's really nasty and it can kill you. But you know what, you hope that your gym is relatively

clean and you take your chances. You also can get a blood clot in the in the brain orether and die on the treadmill or lifting weights. That can happen. You don't sit around worrying about it. It's all about what is acceptable risk and adults can have Adults in good faith and with good judgment can have those kinds of conversations. People that think the government can protect them from all risk and will guarantee them that they all get to live, you know, seventy six years or whatever

the average life expectancy is. Why. I know it's different for males and females, etc. But you know, we all get to make it to Haiti, the government says, or make it beyond at whatever it is. That's not something the government can do and it never will be able to. So we need to move away from this, we have had a failure of philosophy here, and it is that the government is here to protect you from all risk,

including unreasonable expectations of security you should have. You should have a reasonable expectation that the government will do some stuff to help you out, you know, protect us from invasion by foreign country, will execute the laws faithfully, law enforcement will show up if someone's attacking you or breaking into your house, although you still want to be armed and be able to take care of it yourself if

you can. But all of these things, minimal expectation is what you should have from the government, not that it will protect you all the time. And I'm just happy to see that over the weekend you had people who

were out at least here. And this is the worst place for COVID nineteen response in that we've had the highest number of deaths, the most number, the most cases, and this place is as blue and left wing and statist and progressive as any place you'd find anywhere in the country really, so we've had it very tough in that regard. But as we look now at what's happening, people just they're they're done. If it's beautiful outside, the weather's warm. They want to live their lives. People want

to take risks. If you don't want to go outside, don't go outside. But don't tell people that they can't go outside either, even if you're staying inside because you're so scared of what would happen if they go outside. No, No, that's not a country that we can live and that's not a free country. So you ask yourself, is America free country? Another little thing? I thought this was a

free country. When you want to get a little huffy about being able to do something or say something, that's a question that we should ask now, and it's one that doesn't have an easy answer. Because the imbeciles who have been telling us all along to just do as they say and will all be safe, they weren't telling you the truth. They don't know what they're talking about. They're not keeping you safe, and they're doing incalculable damage to the economy, to our ways of life. These are

months that we'll never get back. Remember that, too, These are months will never get back. Time is the one commodity you can never get more of. The Government's just stealing it from you like you're a prisoner. That's what they do. People who break the law, they take their time, they take time away from them. That's what's happening here. I say, we take it back. You're in the Freedom Hend. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The mortality for

children zero to eighteen is virtually zero. It's not exactly zero, but it's close to zero. It's point zero zero zero one percent. It's very very small. And this virus is very deadly for the elderly and for those who were in nursing homes, but it actually is not deadly at all for those who are young. And we should get them back to school, and we should have a debate

over this. Look, this is so bad that I know people in my state that are going to send their kids to grandparents in other states because our idiot governor doesn't want to open the schools. That's what's going to happen is ultimately people are going to move to venues, or send kids or even buy you rent an apartment in an a state that does not have a draconian shut down of the schools. That's what this is going to come to. He's right, and unfortunately it should come

to that. I mean, the truth is that if you're in a state with a governor who is effectively being a moron by thinking that kids are at an unacceptable risk from COVID nineteen. They're just not children should be allowed to go back to school. We are taking from kids on behalf of well, I mean the political system really at this point, it's just this has all gotten

so political. And you have the average age of teachers in the United States, according to the Department of Education is forty two, So you've got fifteen percent of teachers are less than thirty years old. Here. If you're less than thirty years old, your risk from this. So I know that's only you know, that's less than one and five,

but that's a fair number. Maybe we have to have bigger classroom size, Maybe we have to find a way to you know, if you're a teacher over fifty or over sixty, I can understand why you have your concerns about this one going back in the classroom because of COVID. But if you're under fifty, what we're gonna now say you can't come in. People have been through flu seasons,

I mean kids. All the teachers I know say that kids, you come in with a lot of stuff that you gotta a lot, a lot of coughs and colds and sneezes and measles, and you know, all kinds of things. So what are we going to do with our school system. We're gonna keep it shut down? No, of course not. The school should be open. And anybody who's saying otherwise just isn't looking at the data. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just want to make something clear, it's very important. Vaccine or no vaccine, we're back and we're arending the process. And in many cases they don't have vaccines. An a virus or flu comes and you fight through it. We haven't seen anything like this in one hundred and some odd years nineteen seventeen. But you fight through it and people sometimes I guess we don't know exactly yet, but it looks like they become immune or at least for

a short while and maybe for life. But you fight through it. But what we'd like to do if we can as a vaccine. I think we're going to be successful in doing it, and hopefully by the end of the year, fight through it. We're back vaccine or no. The President is right. This is what we need to do. This is what our mindset needs to become. Otherwise we're just allowing ourselves to We're destroying ourselves. We're destroying ourselves as a country, as a society. Wait wait for a vaccine?

How long do you think you're gonna wait? What happens if the trials are correct? Now, Look, there's I like any positive news that I can give you. Positive news is something that we should be thankful for and we should share it, always with the caveat of you know, if something's not yet decided or done, well fine. But for example, Moderno, a big pharmaceutical company, just said and they had a big rally in their stock. So if

your own Moderna, lucky you. Twenty six percent went up after reporting a positive phase one result for a potential coronavirus vaccine. That's after two doses of its vaccine. All forty five participants in a trial when they check them out, all those forty five participants had coronavirus antibodies. If antibodies don't work against this, it would be bizarre. Right. The problem with flu is that you get new strains of flu every season. But and people would say, well, look

at cold viruses, you don't have total immunity to those. Well, yeah, because there's so many different kinds of colds out there. But this COVID nineteen, specifically this corona virus stars COVE two, as it is referred to by the scientific community, if you have antibodies to this, the mutation of it, the different strains of it, are overwhelmingly likely to be less dangerous and less lethal. Though that's not a promise, that's

not a guarantee. But so if you if you are safe from this, chances are you're going to be in a position to not have to worry about this at all, right, I mean meaning if you're safe from it now, at least by the time we figure out what's really going on here and we have the vaccine trials and it goes through, maybe then this will be this will be passed. I mean. They also don't really understand entirely how it is that some of these viruses just go away, which

happens over time. Not all viruses just go away. They can live in human populations and come back, but some viruses do just so we don't know there's so many unknowns here, but MODERNA had a good a good phase one trial Phase one results, So there you go. So it shows that it at least can do something against this disease. So that's some good news. Now we have to convince other parts of the country that this has

to happen. This has to be a moment in time where we recognize that the left has a very big incentive here because of the minimization of the possible blowback on any governors in Democrats states. I also remember, and people don't spend a lot of time on this now, but I remember how there were a lot of left wing pundits who were initially telling us that the red States and the redder parts of the country this was this was out there, you can find this online. The

red parts of the country. There'll be a lot of death in the red parts of the country because they don't believe in science and they don't believe. It was a horrible thing to say, a vicious, stupid, and as we now see, also incorrect thing to say. It is the cities and it is the blue states that have been hit the worst by this. In fact, some of the bluest parts of the country are in fact the

worst hit parts of the entire country. And so now those states, those governors want maximum protection from political blow blowback from reopening, want to make sure they maintain I mean, I'm walking through their mindset, right, we understand what's going

on here. They want to maintain their ability to blame Trump for this right that they want to make sure that, to the degree they can, the economy stays in this frozen state for as long as possible, because it is more likely than you'll have a Democrat wave election, not just for the president, but also for the Senate in the fall. They're having dreams of Obama's first year in office again when they had the House, the Senate, and

the presidency. So that's a part of this. They want to squeeze as much money out of the federal government as they possibly can. And that's also where Pelosi comes in here with what everyone is just saying is a shockingly unserious. So she's of course they're calling it the Heroes bill. I mean, they might as well call it the you know, unicorns fairy tales and you know, magic

rainbows and pots of gold bill. But this is those are all the different factors and that's why we need to look at what's really happening now with the coronavirus bailout bill. For I mean, it's any whether you call it a bailout, you call it a rescue package, you call it a stimulus. Here for example, is that Well, let's start with what they are saying about this. First. Pelosi wants to focus on how the CDC was cut in Trump's budget. I had to deal with this on

the bill, Marshall. Trump doesn't set the budget. The CDC did not get a big budget cut, all right, So I don't know why, I mean, she focuses on this. This is a distraction, This is a red herring. Pelosi specializes in that though play thirteen, did the CDC let the American people down? Well, CDC was grossly cut in the president's budget. But setting aside how we got here, let's talk about how we go forward. It is important for us the American people want the economy to open up.

We all do. We want our society to open up. We all do. And in order to do that, we have testing, tracing, treatment, and isolation. And that is the path. It's what the scientists advise, that is what we do. In the Heroes Act. She's just just going to keep saying this, This is not an answer, test, trace treat isolate. Guess what, Nancy, fifty percent of people at least are asymptomatic. How are you going to get them all to be tested.

They're spreading the disease all over the place. What we're seeing is the government tried to prevent, or to try to save us from the process of achieving her immunity. And we're going to end up moving toward her immunity as a society anyway, just with massive economic damage and the erasing of freedom that we have seen happening here right, the seizure of your basic rights. But we're still heading

toward a percentage. You know, once we get forty fifty percent of the population to have been exposed to this and have antibodies. Now you're talking about getting close to a herd immunity level. I mean true herd immunity, I think depends on the virus and how fast it's, how much it spreads, how fast it spreads, But it can be much higher than that eighty nine percent of the population I think for measles, because that's that's so contagious that I've never even heard anyone explain why it can

be so much more contagious than other diseases. But you have to have a very very high level of infection and antibodies or antibodies to what I should say, for people to have herd immunity. But Pelosi here with notice that she dodges in the CDC because the CDC is part of the permanent bureaucracy, as part of that unaccountable tier of government that has far too much authority in our lives. But unfortunately, as we see, we have to rely on it sometimes and we're being told that test

trace isolate, test trace treat isolate. That was Pelosi's cute little phrase, that that is what we need to do here. Just remember that in the early days of this the CDC was not able to get a test out in time so that we could have gone ahead of this thing. People keep saying we should do what South Korea did. No, No, you would need to You need to stop test trace

isolate as soon as you're getting cases. We've had cases since January at least, you think showing the CDC taking an extra four weeks or whatever it was to turn around a test that actually works, and that's starting in what February March. That's going to be Okay, this is it.

It's outrageous. These people don't know what they're doing. They don't have the answers, and we should not subject ourselves to living in the in the bizarre fantasy land that they create, where if only we had listened to them, or listen to the experts more, everything would be so much better off. It's just it's wrong. M We have John Kennedy, Congressman Kennedy saying the three on the three trillion dollars virus package. You you want to hear about this?

Play play clip nine. It's three trillion dollars for one thing, every penny of which we would have to borrow. That's three zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero dollars. It's not going to pass the Senate, nor should it. My fellow Republicans in the Senate have tried to see things from the speaker's point of view, but we can't get our heads that far up. Our

rear ends. And I think any fair minded American would agree once they read the bill, Senator Kennedy of Louisiana, there is a. He is colorful in his speech, that is for sure. But this is this is now going to turn into another one of these fights, and and Pelosi is going to do everything that she can to make sure that the media has an opportunity to bash Republicans for being hartless and cruel, when what we really

see happening is Democrats are going to use this. They're going to exploit this moment in time for their own purposes. They're going to exploit this opportunity to try to get things they would not normally be able to get through the legislative process by holding people up. I mean, Gavin Newsom. Here's a perfect example. There is an old, an old

ploy in politics. They call it fireman first, right, and fireman first means that whenever somebody and usually this applies more in cities, sometimes state level, but you know, cities or towns, whenever someone threatens to cut the budget, they just say, oh, well, I guess we're gonna have to shut down on all the firehouses, you know, no more,

no more pay for firemen. And you say, well, hold on a second, what about the you know, one hundred million dollars we're spending on you know, bloated pensions for former government workers. What about the money we're spending on on you know, administrators who don't really do anything, and you know, there's always so much fat in the government.

But the moment that you try to trim that fat, what you're told is that everybody, everybody's an essential worker, everybody's a fireman, everybody has a job that you know if you will. First they just say firemen and police because we know they are essential. So that's what the that's their favorite move, right, and then if that gets pushed back, they'll say, oh, well, no, we can't get

rid of that person. But the first level is always if you try to touch our budget, there's gonna it's gonna turn into the Purge for those of you who've seen that movie, because we're gonna let all the cops go, or or your house will burn down because there'll be no there'll be no fireman because we're gonna let all the fireman go, and everyone says, whoa hold on, Maybe we can't cut the buddy. See, this is the classic move that they pull, and you're going to see it

in this bill. Congressman Crenshaw Dan Crenshaw from Texas talked about the Heroes Act. This is this is what he said, played twenty Today's theatrics are shocking. Thirty million jobs, thirty five million jobs lost, businesses and livelihoods ruined. And while American grosser's nurses and workers kept America going, Democrats kept Congress in hiding for the past three weeks. Hiding is fear. It is not leadership. And when we finally reconvene, we

get this. Politico summed it up best. Neither this bill nor anything resembling it will ever become law. It's a Democrat wish list filled up with all the party's favorite policies. Is this a joe, because it certainly isn't based on reality. Reality would be working here for the last three weeks, examining each problem our nation faces and working together to find the best solutions. That shouldn't be all that difficult, since I would press zoom. We still have the same

goals mitigate the virus and save our economy and society. Right, That is still our goal, isn't it? If it is, then stop playing games. Three trillion dollars of virtue signaling to your base is no way to govern in the midst of a crisis, and you know it fire from a Congressman Cranshaw, that's what I like to hear. Obviously a rising star in the Republican Party, and he knows

what's going on here. Remember Nancy Pelosi when people were truly desperate because there there were no federal funds yet approved to go to those folks who lost their jobs and their businesses are shut down because the government dictated they must be. Pelosi wanted to play games then. Oh, but now she cares so much about people. M I don't think so. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. No, I'm not crazy about

Democrats are not crazy about it. Democrats talked about this bill going nowhere. It's really sick that the Democrats are using this opportunity to enforce their socialism. Remember what did its bill that they just passed on Friday. Well, it's about pot, it's about prisoners, it's about politicizing election law, prioritizing illegal immigrants, and pensions. These are all things that are socialist wish list that they've been trying to pass

long before COVID ever came to this land. And that's exactly what they're trying to do knowing that it will not go anywhere. They're just using this as an opportunity to restructure government. And I'm not just saying that that's what Democrats say. Joe Biden said it the other day. Their whip said at Kleber, it goes beyond AOC is now throughout the entire Democrats socialist base of what they

want to utilize this opportunity to. Because when we wanted to help small businesses with their loans, Nancy Pelosi went to the freezer to stop it. Here's my concern. Just as you have the body has its defenses against pathogens, bacteria, virus, is, parasites, and if your overall immunity is reduced, you are more susceptible from any one pathogen. You're more susceptible to all

of them. Right, if your overall immune system is overtaxed, then there can be secondary infections and other problems can come up. Right now, the American people and our sense that we have rights, that there are freedoms that must be respected, that there is a contract with the government that we all enter into known as the Constitution, that it can just be violated on a whim. We are

suppressed in our desire for freedom. And I worry that as we start to have some of those freedoms given back to us, will be so grateful that we're finally being let out of the prison, that you know, just piece by piece, step by step, we're being pulled into the light of our lives again instead of being shut away in the darkness of lockdown, that we'll just allow them to get away with all kinds of nonsense. You know, we'll be looking at the one hand that's offering us. Okay, fine,

you can start to open up stores, all right. Fine, you can start to work out at the gym, you can go and see relatives, you can track all these things. But on the other hand, they're they're gonna be putting out there. Oh and we're going to redistribute wealth on a scale never before seeing in human history. We're going to spend money, which is your children and children's children's money, and on a scale never before seeing in human history. We're going to fund all of our most progressive left

wing priorities. And you better not say anything about it, because then this other hand that's giving your freedom, perhaps it starts to clench once again. Perhaps we start to tell you to get ready for another round of lockdowns, because we say so, this is volatile, this is fiscile stuff for a government, my friends, don't forget it. Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you

get your podcasts. All right, team, we are joined by the one and only Denish Dasuza. He is, of course a calumnist author. You've seen him on TV. He's been in the conservative media game for some time. Here, my friends, he has a new book out. He's a best selling author. He's got a new one, United States of Socialism, Who's behind it? Why it's evil? How to stop it? Very timely, in fact, this book comes out now, Denish. Great to see you, Great to be on the show. Hi. All right,

so let's let'sus get in. We're already hearing. I mean, we had Governor Insley saying that this is the real opportunity. I mean, he's monomaniacal about climate change among the left's agenda items. I mean, that's the one thing that he always talks about. Others are talking about forgiving loans as a racial justice issue, universal basic income. I mean, how do you see? I mean, you've got a book out

on socialism right now. How does the left leverage this moment of crisis, unprecedented spending and fear to push for some of these socialist agenda items that they've wanted for a hundred years. Well, let's see. How do I begin here? First of all, I think the ronavirus has given us a window, a kind of foretaste of what socialism looks and feels like. My wife is from Venezuela. She's been telling me now for years about the empty shelves, the limits,

the rationing. But now we've seen it. We've seen it here in America, even if on a temporary basis. We've also seen the other signature move of socialism, the attack on civil liberties, the invasion of privacy, the attack on religious liberty, freedom of assembly. And now, as you say, the left is trying to use fear as a pretext to do all kinds of things that they couldn't do otherwise. See,

Marks didn't think you'd need any of this. Marx thought that socialism would come because the working class would become so discontented that it would revolt. But the left is now figured out that's not going to happen. The working class actually has it too good. They're not going to revolt. We need a climate fever or the world is ending, or we need the virus is going to kill you if you don't do all these things. So they have become specialists in manufactured fear to make people do things

that in common sober moments, we never would do. So they're trying to get socialism ultimately here through a panic. And what do you think? And we're speaking to Jenesta Suzo. He's got a new book, United States of Socialism, Who's behind it, Why it's evil? How to stop it? What do you see, for example, just in the latest Pelosi grab bag bill, you know this this Hero's Act. There are all these things that they're trying to fund, which

one of the of the democrat socialist agenda items. Do you think is that we're in the greatest danger of falling into as a result of this coronavirus. If you had to focus in on one where you're like, they're really going to put it in, put the resources into this one in every sense, well, I think the greatest danger comes from the fact that when people over a fairly extended period of time, are used to sitting on the couch and doing nothing and getting money for it,

and getting money on a regular basis. Suddenly they realized, wait a minute, this is actually a pretty comfy lifestyle. I have more time to spend with my family. I can play frisbee in the yard. This whole notion of me having to go to work for eight to ten hours a day and get pretty much the same amount of money is beginning to look kind of unappealing. So ironically, I think the Left is relying on kind of the habits of leth rg setting in on people so that

what the left is proposing is more tempting. Before this, people might go, well, how's that kind of work? How can a country function when no one's working. Well, we see how it's functioning now, And so the left has the illusion that we can function like this perpetually. It's a very it's a temptation for people, and that's probably

the best thing going for the Left right now. And it seems that the extension, for example, they're already looking at pushing some of these unemployment benefits that for a lot of people, especial people who are making around forty thousand dollars a year or less than that. They make more money staying home, and that was intentional, that that's not an unforeseen consequence of this. They want to extend

this now into twenty twenty one. So do you think that is the argument for a universal basic income going to essentially turn in to become Well, we're spending trillions of dollars and taking care of all these people. Why don't we just keep spending the trillions of dollars and make sure everybody has everything they need. Yes, I mean

the things, the measures we've taken as so extraordinary. First of all, we've never done I don't think the world has ever responded this way to any kind of epidemic. These are you may almost call them wartime measures. They're measures that are taken in extraordinary circumstances, and they're not sustainable.

I think deep down people do know this. The other thing I want to highlight is that you know, you mentioned things like the efforts to give money to illegal immigrants, or the idea that we need to keep a racial count of the minorities being disproportionately affected by the virus. We need to have diversity commissions now on corporate boards. Even the idea that somehow calling it the Chinese virus, the Wuhan virus, is somehow racist. It's important to see

here that we have a new twist on socialism. It's socialism married to identity politics. See Marxist socialism wasn't like that. For marx the world is divided into two groups. They're basically the working class and the capitalist. That's it. But for socialist today, there's a race divide, there's a gender divide that, there's a divide between strates and gays. There's a divide between legals and illegals. And so the whole strategy of the socialist left is to cobble together a

democratic majority of aggrieved victim groups. That's how you get to fifty one percent. Speaking to Nashtra Susa, author of United States of Socialism, let's transition for a moment into some of the arguments you make in the book, Denesh. I mean, when people think of socialism, who's behind it? I mean, I'm sure you get into Mars a bit,

but you mean, who's behind it? Here in America? How are we getting and are there are some of the folks that would obviously come to mind, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, there are others that anyone who's paying attention to politics is aware at least that they're openly pushing for socialism. But who else is is a part of this? And how else are we getting? You know, are we closer to socialism in this country than we've ever been in your lifetime? Is that fair to say? And how are

we getting pushed so far? I mean, if the if the defeat of socialism was the big story of the twentieth century, you have to say that the revival of socialism in the twenty first century is not only a big story but a big surprise. If you think of a spectrum with the free market at one end and full socialism on the other, you'd have to see that every Democrat, there is no exception to this, is pulling in the socialist direction. Not one of them is in

the free market direction. Now, the Democrats have rejected the explicit socialism of Bernie Sanders and the squad in favor of what may be called the creeping socialism of people like Warren and Biden. But notice that Biden is now moving in the Sanders direction. He was against free college, now he's for it. He embraces a lot of the same policies as Bernie in the Squad. He's fully behind, for example, the Green New Deal, which is the umbrella

for bringing socialist policies to mainstream respectability. So the bottom line of it is that socialism today is now embedded in the Democratic Party and has very powerful allies in Hollywood, in the media. So it is not only economic socialism, but it's a cultural thrust to socialism, and it has an appeal even for groups that are traditionally very hostile

to it. You've got, for example, a successful capitalists who say things like, we've now got to redistribute income because because if we don't, we're going to have a revolution in our society. It's completely nonsense instacle, but nevertheless they believe it. In the United States of socialism, you also have the how to stop it part of the equation. And I I want to ask you, given what we're seeing right now in this country where you know, everyone's just

right now, we're just trying to get it. You know, stores open, people back to work, and there are clearly our forces that are fighting against this, not just for fear of the virus, but also for very political reasons. What can the Trump administration and what can conservatives in government and outside of it do to stop this what feels like massive onslaught of government spending, government control. I mean, genee, look, it feels like we're losing right now. So how do

we turn the tide? Well, it's a very strange thing to say that we're losing. I mean, admittedly, we've had this economic contraction produced obviously not by failed policies, but by an external threat. Look, currently we control the Presidency, the Senate, and the Court, and the left basically has the House. So under all common sensical calculations, we should be in control. But weirdly, even though we are in control, we never seem to be in charge. And it's well

worth asking why that is the case. How can it be that when we control most of the rudders of government, the left is still setting the agenda. I think the answer to that has got to be that the left controls the big megaphones of the culture, namely academia, the media, and Hollywood. So this is not a straight fight between Republicans and Democrats. They've got allies working for them that are. And then you have to add in the Deep States.

So you've got the police agencies of government which purport to be neutral, but which have been doing their bidding. So it's really important for us to hold these institutions accountable. Recently, bar said as quoted saying, you know, we're not really going to be going criminally after Obama or Biden. And I say, why not if Obama gave the order, if he is the mastermind and ultimately of an effort to frame and in tract not just General Flynn but ultimately Trump,

that wouldn't we hold them accountable? Why is it our attitude to sort of get over this and move on so that those guys can come back and do their thing when they have a chance. So I think it's very important ultimately to be socialism, not just to refute it. I try to do that in a book, but ultimately to fight it at every level. And that means holding the deep state accountable. It also means creating alternative institutions of media, because that's our long term threat. Look, it's

an even bigger challenge to me than reelecting Trump. Why because the lobsidedness of the media affects every election. We're speaking to Denishasu is an author of a new book, United States of Socialism, Who's Behind It? Why It's Evil? How to stop at Denish? You brought up the deep state, and you had your own battle with the deep state some years ago. You were not treated fairly in that process. The President agreed with that assessment and gave you a

presidential pardon. Given what we have now seen, and you know, I worked both with the FBI when I was in the CIA, as well as the MYPD Intelligence Division, this doesn't really surprise me. What maybe does surprise me is how sloppy and obvious they were in this case as somebody who was the target of this, I mean clearly was was treated differently because of politics by I believe it was pre Berara on the Southern District. Correct. What do you make of what do you make of these revelations?

And what do you want to tell people that see this and say you mean that there are federal prosecutors and FBI agents who are actually bad guys for political reasons. Yeah, I think what we're seeing is a disco disc goes very far, it goes beyond like creep Berrara wasn't doing anything on his own he was in league with the Holder Justice Department, and I think I know who Holder was playing wingman for. Similarly, here in the Flim case, you see that these FBI agents Peter Struck even call

me Mueller. These guys are not going to do it on their own. Some is giving the order that is very very high up. And the other point that's very alarming is that the judges are in on it. This is critical. We see this with Judge Sullivan. It's obvious that he is very frustrated by the decision of the Justice Department to drop the case against Flynn. So now he's looking to see how he himself, the judge, can resurrect it, and what's the basis for resurrecting it. Flynn

pleaded guilty. This is the same thing that people say to me, well, you pleaded guilty, then you obviously you admit you did it. But here's the key point. When you're sitting across from the prosecutors, they will say to me, Denesh, you violated the campaign finance law. But that's a fairly trivial offense. We're going to charge you with mail fraud. And I say mail fraud and they go yeah, because you put your check in the mail, and then we're

going to get you for bank fraud. And I go bank fraud and then go, yeah, because you took that money out of your own bank account. It's your money, but it came out of your bank account, so the banks are involved, so it's bank fraud. So the point to realize here is that very using laws that were passed to go after the mafia and isis against political opponents.

And so ultimately for someone like me or face with the choice a few months in the confinement center or years and years in federal prison, a destroyed career, destroyed life, no relationship with my daughter. So no rational person is not going to take a plea under those circumstances. So this is the legal gangsterism that is going on in this country. I'm convinced it's much more widespread than I

would ever have thought possible. And this is one of the supreme challenges I think facing Trump to root this out, to expose it, and to tie it gets to the very root of justice itself. Danesh assues everybody. The United States of Socialism is the book. It's out now available on Amazon or wherever you buy books. Danish always good to see you and appreciate your times are good luck,

my pleasure. You're in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast speaking of the deep State, and I just have chat with my old friend Denishta Suzia about what he went through, and I think it's important for you all to hear that that they will go after conservatives. And if I continue on my current trajectory, I can assure you, my friend, the left wing statist apparatus will come after me at some point, so be

prepared for that. I'm ready for the fight. The Buster, he's a polite fellow, but he's a tenacious he's got that tenacious old Irish side. So the judge in the case against Flynn and Judge Sullivan was presented with the possibility. I mean, this was truly stunning that the FBI had lost the three O two doesn't have the original three O two. Now, the three O two is effectively the field report. When I was the NYPD, we called it

a d D five. That was the intelligence field report that you would have and you would talk about your confidential informant or whatever it may be. And three O two is what the FBI use for their their field reporting effectively. And there is a there was this over the weekend revelation that Sullivan was told about this. He was told that there might and this is how I mean, it's just it's just amazing. This is how he responded. Now, keep in mind the three or two is what the

FBI agents struck. And I believe Pientka, I'm not sure how to pronounce this FBI guy's name who sat down with Flynn. Right that, the the record of the conversation is what they write down. That is that is it. The record of the conversation is what they say it is.

And you would think that a record like that that's being used as the basis for whether or not someone's going to go to prison would be really really important, right this would This is like if someone wrote in a post at note, this is what you said, and then you're going to go to prison because of why I said you you said because I wrote that, wrote it on this post it note. And then he showed up in court and they said, yes, send this guy to prison. The judge says, okay, why oh I wrote

on a post to note what the guy told me. Okay, where's the post it note, I don't know, I don't know somebody else has got it, don't don't you think the judge, don't you think that freedom hangs in the balanced document would be important. Here's what Judge Sullivan said when he was found out that they do not have the original. The government doesn't have the original three or two.

The government, I'm sure we'll address that. I don't want to focus on any other case cases before the court, but you know, sometimes throughout the best efforts, notwithstanding the best efforts of everyone, things happen, and documents are lost. I mean, it just happens. And so we'll wait for the government submission. That was what he said. That's stunning. This is the This is from James Gagliano, who was

a legal analyst. He wrote about this. He said, it's a shockingly cavalier take by Judge Sullivan to defense counsel Sydney Owl on September tenth of twenty nineteen, regarding the lost original Flynn three O two comes. Now we look at what the judge said about this. Now we find out the three O two was revised, it was changed. They entrapped Flynn, and the judge was like, oh, you

guys couldn't find it. No big deal. Oh no, it's a very big deal because the FBI and the deep state actors within it can charge you for lying based upon whatever they write down as your words on a piece of paper, and the federal judge meant to protect your rights will think nothing of it when that freedom hangs in the balance, piece of paper just disappears suddenly. Does that sound like the America you want to live in? My friends, I don't think so. Thanks for listening to

the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Doing one feels good. What's convenient, what's easy. That's how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of so called grown ups, including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way, which is why things are so screwed up. Is he taking a little shot at the administration? Here? Is that? Is that Obama? Who's grown up? Arose adults? Child? Oh?

Do those? Oh does Trump? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna call him up by my name, but I'm gonna say he's bad. He accs like I could. Oh boy, you know Barack Obama is in a different situation when he when he comes after the Trumpster. Now I know he didn't name Trump here to be fair, but I think I think it's pretty clear what the implication is.

But Barack Obama has never been subjected to a person who has a similarly sized megaphone who will really fight back, because that person does not care if the media calls him horrible names, calls him a racist or whatever. That the birth person doesn't care, and therefore you have a a more even playing field for the fight. And so that's why Trump is stepping into this one right now. Oh wait, can I can? I just I wanted to

throw this in there as well. Whenever you see someone now who doesn't like and you're seeing this with leftists about the whole collapse of even further collapse of the Flynn the Flynn case and Russia Gate all around it, and all this reporting that Durham who's investigating the clearly corrupt origins of Obama Gate, all the things that are happening.

Whenever you see someone say, oh, but there are so many people dying and you're focusing on this, it tends to be people who when the story is something they like, it doesn't matter that there's COVID nineteen out there, right, They'll they'll run stories on whatever they want, but they go to Now I'm seeing for a lot of libs because the news cycle outside of COVID nineteen has been pretty damaging to some major LIB narratives out there. The

moment that it's rays in territory, they don't like. It's how could you focus on this when all these people are suffering in so while the pandemic goes on? Are we not allowed to talk about any other news? There's nothing else is allowed to happen. That's what I That's what I'm curious about that. I think it's fair to it's fair to ask that question. And we think already

know we already know what the answer is here. But Trump is willing to fight back when when Obama decides that he's going to say something mean about the Trumpster, and so this is how you get clip ten play it. So I think we had a great weekend. We did a lot of terrific meetings. Tremendous progress is being made on many fronts, including coming up with a cure for this horrible plague. That has to be said in our country. I think a lot of things have happened very good.

Very is a working weekend, it is a good weekend. A lot of very good things have happened. I didn't hear it. Look, he was an incompetent president. That's all I can say. Grossly incompetent. Thank you, grossly incompetent. I haven't heard people say that about Obama in a while, have you. What were the what were the the big achievements on policy of the Obama administration? What were the genius foreign pology, foreign policy stratagems that were accomplished? Does

any anybody know, anybody have an answer here? That's what I would want to know. I would want someone to tell me. Where is it that we could say that the Obama administration was in fact adept skillful. I mean, yeah, sure, they had the media doing a lot of propaganda for them. They had people that were willing to do anything and say anything on behalf of the Obama administration. Sure, so, I guess in that sense their messaging was certainly helped

along the way. But when we look back at what happened here and what we're being told now is going to happen with the investigation of the Russia collusion fantasy that was, it wasn't really I mean, it was a conspiracy. Actually that's a better word for it. I mean it's fantastical in the sense that it never happened, but it was a conspiracy. It was brought together for a purpose. This wasn't just a bedtime story that liberals told themselves that they could feel a little bit less sad about

Hillary losing the election. They used this as part of a coup effort to destroy the incoming administration. That was. I mean, this was a weaponization of the FBI and the intelligence community. And that's really beyond doubt at this point, that's really beyond I think anybody's ability to reasonably question on the facts. And now it's just how involved was Obama and what diviided? No, And I really want to find out who who leaked that phone call between kisel

Yak and Flynn. Who leaked the phone call to the FBI, because if they find that out and that person does not face criminal charges, then we know the whole system is really just a joke. It's just a joke. It doesn't count when they don't want someone to get in trouble. That person doesn't get in trouble, no matter how egregious. And I think you could already make that argument with what happened with Andy McCabe, former acting director of the FBI. So he can lie several times under oath and that's

no problem. But General Flynn lies under oath, doesn't actually lie. They rewrite their version of what he said. They already had the transcript of every word that was said beforehand, and that's supposed to be a serious crime. That's supposed to be a thing that they will they will put in the I mean, it's just crazy. It's just crazy. Oh but now they're all upset because they're saying that Trump fire the State Department. I g guess what Trump's

allowed to fire the State Department? I play play twelve years Pelosi whining about it. Well, this is new to us and a typical of the White House announcing something that is very unsavory. They would do it late on a Friday night. The fact is, as you indicated, it's the fourth Inspector General Inspector's General. That office was created after Watergate to make sure that there was integrity in the departments the agencies of government. They are supposed to

show cause. Even Republicans in Congress are concerned with the investigating the Secretary of State. When you say, on Savory, is that what you mean? Well, I mean on Savory, when you take out someone who is there to enforce the to stop waste for aught, abuse or other violations of the law, that are they believed to be happening. So again, let's take a look and see. The president

has the right to fire any federal employee. But the fact is, if it looks like it's in retaliation for something that the attorney, the IG, the Inspector General is doing, that could be unlawful, could be unlawful. This is the way, this is the way that they do this construct. I see it happen over and over seeing that as a piece. How you know Trump's firing may be illegal of the IG. You know what else could be illegal? Anything, depending on

the surrounding circumstances that a president would do. Trump just signed a bill into law could be illegal, said Buck, what do you mean how could it be? Did someone did someone give him a bag of money under the table to go sign that and he was going to veto it, but then they gave him money. Could be illegal. You could play this could be illegal game all the time. But notice how dishonest it is. What rationale do they have for the this could be illegal? Remember, he has

total authority, total discretion to fire this. Steve Lynnok who got fired on Friday as Inspector General of the State Department for any reason or no reason, he'd be like Steve Lynnock, I just don't think you're very good bye. That's it. It's not not reviewable. Oh but now they get to corrupt intent. That's what they'll say. Oh, if there's corrupt intent for the firing, if he's you know, investigating somebody and Trump didn't want to investigate him, you

know what they're saying. I mean, this is amazing. The lives are completely out of their minds, they really are. You know, they still think, oh, the Logan Act. They'll talk about the Logan Act as if it's a serious thing that we should be and we should be listening to them, and they're completely absurd. No one goes, no one goes a prison on the Logan Act. And they know that, but they still tall, Oh, it's a goodst

the Law Secretary Pompeo. The claim right now is that he was under investigation for making a staffer walk his dog and make a dinner reservation for him and his wife. Now, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that if you ask somebody to do something for you, that you would ask any like normal person or friend to do for you on a you know, on a one or two off basis, or you know whatever. I mean.

Are they what they're gonna They're gonna say that the Secretary of State if he said, hey, man, can you make a dinner reservation for me? I'm really busy in this meeting right now, that's corruption. Oh, it's using it's personal benefit for the Come on, man, come on, who's kid? Well?

This is like the same people that want to bring the Emoluments claus suit because Trump gets a benefit from foreigners, and they say, under the constitutions is not allowed because some foreigners buy I'm not making this up, you know, food drinks at the Trump Hotel, they may have undue influence on Donald Trump himself. I've just said, try this out.

Go into Trump International Hotel when it's open, get some of their delicious flombade bacon strips, which are amazing, and then say, you know, when you sign the little check for you know, forty bucks or whatever, they are an expensive place. When you sign a little check, then say you want your meeting with the president. You know you bought your bacon strips. Now you want the meeting. That's right. People will I mean they won't even laugh at you.

They'll think you're sick. I'll think you got a problem. I mean, they'll probably call, you know, professionals to come help you work through your issues. This is crazy, right, But this is what they're bringing the emoluments claws suit on. Oh these foreigners are this is real and a judge the Supreme Court's gonna have this just happened last week and judge said all the emoluments case can go forward. First of all, usually you can't sue a president in

office for any reason. They're letting them sue the president for this. This is outrageous, right, But the hashtag resistance judiciary, they don't care how much damage is done to the rule of law. They don't care what the costs of all of this are. They're just disgusting that they will do any thing to take this guy down because he's such a threat to their sense of their own importance and their role in the world and their future and everything else. And it's a total it's just a complete,

a nutter outrage. But look, the Trump firing of the IG gives them something else to sink their teeth into now other than what we were learning in most recent weeks because of what the what the Director of National Intelligence has been doing. Richard Grinnelle, you know, I said on this show that he was like the wireder of the intel community, and that kind of went viral over the weekend, and it's pretty awesome, pretty fun to see that happen. But it's true. I mean, he's in there

to clean up. I will give Annie McCarthy credit. Annie McCarthy said that we really want him to be more like Doc Holiday, you know, and that's I've said that. I've said that that's if you want an analogy for Trump's foreign policy, and especially when he's dealing with with some of the bad actors in the world stage, he is like Doc Holliday. Remember in that scene in Tombstone where he says they'll be a little less jumpy if they know docs on the street. Howits are referring to

a sawt off shotgun. Yeah, you want a guy who you know, you want a guy who's got a bazook in his pocket to be the guy who actually might use it or else. It doesn't really mean all that much. I know you can't fit a bazook in the pocket, but it's fun to think about that. So I don't think. I don't think anyone's gonna fire the Secretary of State because he might have had someone on his staff make a thirty second phone call on his behalf. But remember,

this is how libs play the game. Extreme scrutiny of the law and maximum punishment and twisting the intent of the law in order to ruin people. And oh, we believe in and then when there are people do something bad, it's whoa, whoa. Hold on a second, what about the mass incarceration state? Man? What's going on? Come on, you can't do that. And this is just a good public servant, you know, McCabe wasn't lying. Comy's totally cool, man. They're

just disgusting. They have no principles, they don't care what they have to say to get what they want. They'll just say it. So you know Pelosi talking about this is I mean, she She's an absurdity. And I just would love to see somebody make a you know, try to make a public defense of why anybody should respect Nancy Pelosi's honor, integrity, I mean she has she has none. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

Show podcast. You got a president who blames everybody in the world or the problems that we face except himself. You know, this is a guy who you know, used to talk about President She is being a great leader, a good friend of his. The leader of North Korea, who was probably the worst dictator in the world, was a wonderful human being. They wrote love letters to each other.

Look what they're trying to do now is instead of address the pandemic that we have, and I should say, George, scandal of the moment is that we don't have national policy. This is the president of the United States. We should have national policy based on science. We should have testing going on all over this country so that when we reopened the economy, workers understand that they're working in a

safe environment. Instead, you got fifty states going it alone because we don't have that national protocol based on size. Oh my gosh. The socialism miss back baby Bernie Sanders, we haven't heard from him in the while. He's probably like, look at Joe Biden. You guys say I'm old and crazy. Look at him in the basement. He's talking nonsense all the time. And you know what, the Burn would be right, because that is what's happening. But the Burn also sees this.

And we'll have to be referring back to this this week because they're running a little short on time today on the show. I don't I never have enough time with you guys, never have enough. That reminds me. Also buckxxon dot com for the stories. Like I mentioned in the story about the wide earp thing, buck sex and dot com it's where I need you all to go. You can also download the podcast there. That's becoming the one stop shop for all things buck. But let's get

back to Bernie for a second. Here. Here's what he says about we should seize this moment. The crisis is an opportunity. All the things I've been telling the socialists love this moment in time as an opportunity to remake America. Play six. If there is any civil lining in the midst of this terrible, terrible and unprecedented moment in American history in terms of the economy, in terms of the pandemic.

It is that maybe we thought rethinking some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society works, and we should ask ourselves, among other things, is healthcare a human right that all of us deserve because we're human beings, or is it simply a healthcare benefit that somehow we lose when we lose our jobs? You know the LISTA. Navarro talked about the Great economy, the beautiful it existed before the pandemic. Well, half of the people in America

we're living paycheck to paycheck. I don't think it's a beautiful economy. And when paychecks stopped the two weeks, millions and millions of people don't have enough money to buy the food that they need to feed their families. We need an economy that works for all, not just Trump and his billion half friends. Socialism, we talked about it with the Nash Bernie's telling you right now that's this is going to be a huge opening for the Democratic Party to try to ram through all kinds of the

most aggressive socialist policies. And that's really the plan, man, That's what they're going to be up to They're they're going to look at this as as I've been saying. They're going to look at the very damaged and fragile state of this country right now, damage that they've been pushing for, at least economically with these lockdowns, which are completely insane, and they're going to say, well, you know, well, we should just be in charge of this all of

the time. We should be giving people money like this us all of the time. That's what's fair, that's what's right. They will say, get ready for it. Thanks for listening to the bus seton show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts Badly Joe Biden's worldview on China is you know you used before the word naive. I think that captures it. Well,

it's hopelessly naive. Gosh, the Chinese. What could be the problem. Well, they're malevolent communist who want to dominate us, who want to conquer us, and that's part of their strategy. And I think that Joe is simply not equipped and doesn't even understand the threat exists. Malevolent commis That's what Ted Cruz says about China's Communist Party. Well, we've got somebody who just broke a story about Western media involving China.

Our friend Raheem Kassam is in the house. He is the host or co host, i should say, of the War Room podcast extravaganza. He's there with Bannon and some other folks Stephen Miller. Mister Raheem Kasam. Great to have you back, sir. We have we have missed you in the freedom hunt. I have missed being in the freedom Hunt. But I think everyone around the country is currently in the hut and missus freedom. Yeah, I think that's very true. Tell me about this story. It's an exclusive major Western media.

This is at the National Pulse. Major Western media CNN, BBC, Reuters, the Associated Press participated in Chinese Communist Party's global media summit. You wrote this with Kingsley Cortez. What's going on here? Yeah, that's right. It's a story that we've just pupped. Something that we've been looking at for a long time is

the Chinese Communist Party's influence in Western media outlets. And this is just the latest development as a result of a long standing attempt by the Chinese Communist policy to co opt Western media organizations, western journalists, security analysts, and for those that don't know that, the National Pulse, which is a relatively new outlet that we've started, we are full time dedicated right now to investigating the reach of the Chinese Communist Party into Western media agencies, etc. Etc.

Now this story comes on the back of several days investigation. What it shows is that back in twenty seventeen, the entity called CGTN, which is a subsidiary of the CCTV, the Chinese Communist Television Network, they hold hell a conference in China called the Global Media Summit. It was the first of its kind, and at the first glance it appeared that they had invited Western journalists. I thought to myself, this cannot be true that these entities took official part

in this. But as we dug down into it and found footed John Lyne of these events, it turned out that CNN, the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Reuters, the Associated Press, the Huffington Post and many others apparently willingly participated not just attending this Global Media Summit, but also taking part as panelists, as people on stage giving presentations.

Over the course of the event. Many things were discussed in the media space involving reporting, digital media, social media, et cetera, as you would imagine at a media conference. But really what this Global Media Summit is and was, and it still goes on today, was an attempt by

the Chinese Communist Party. CCTV and CGT and are wholly owned by the Chinese Communist Party, is an attempt by them to effectively launder their reporting, to allow the CNN and the BBC's and the apes and the rooters of the world to lend their legitimacy and their credibility as Western outlets to backing up what the Chinese propaganda arms

are doing. And we have been following in detail what the Chinese propaganda arms have been doing in recent months, especially since the outset of the novel corollavirus, spreading misinformation, disinformation, attempting to so discord in the West. Of course, we know everything related to the World Health Organization, the exclusion of Taiwan from all of that, and we've heard from Secretary uprom Pale that this week. So really what it boils down to is this, and I encourage people to

read this story. It's very detailed. We go into the detail of who was there and when and what they said, and you can read for yourself all the source links of everything there. Really, what it comes down to is this the question, why are Western media journalists, people who's supposedly back transparency and democracy and who are quick to repudiate and repute President Trump and other Western leaders when they think they fall short of Western ideals. Why are

they taking part in Chinese communist propaganda. It's a very good question. Rahim Kasama is asking it. He is the most of the War Room podcast. Go to the National Pulse dot com for his exclusive about Western media being used as really a propaganda megaphone or an extension perhaps of the Chinese communist parties propaganda megaphone. Raheem. You know, you look at international relations from a thirty thousand foot perspective a lot in the work that you do. Do

you think that America? Now, you know, Trump had been raising the alarm about China on trade for years, and much of the conservative establishment was essentially, i should say the Republican establishment maybe was against it. A lot of the Beltway intelligency, a lot of the think tankers, Oh, free trade became this thing. You just say I'm for free trade. It means, Okay, so we get pillaged by

China and just keep taking it. That's what free trade apparently means, or that's what it meant, I should say. Do you think now we have seen just on the right at least a real shift, a solidification of the understanding of what Ted Cruz said, where these you know, the CCP is a bunch of evil commies that are trying to cause real problems for us. I think we're just at the beginning of that shift, actually, and there aren't enough people taking is seriously enough, and there aren't

enough people doing enough about it. You know. I was speaking to people this weekend about this phenomenon of the

fact that actually there is scanned leadership in this area. Okay, you have the President of the United States who's been tough on China in terms of trade for absolutely decades now we know, but who's coming in behind it, who's actually doing the policy work, who's doing the expose as Obviously, we can do what we can with a small outlet like the National Parts and new outlet like the National Part, but you would expect that somewhere along the line some

Western media organization would actually go through all of this information over the past couple of decades and point how exactly what China has been doing, what they've been doing in Africa, what they've been doing in the South China, see what they have been doing in Hong Kong, what they have been doing in Latin America, and what they're indeed doing here in the United States of America and indeed in my home country of the United's Kingdom, where

they effectively, you serve, Western media analysts feed them a party line, the Chinese communist party line, and those lines are regurgitated outward into the Western media. We've exposed several of their participants in this over at the National Pulse over the last couple of weeks. There's also politicians who for decades have said that they believe even free trade.

We did this story about the one of the Tennessee Senate hopefuls, Bill Haggerty, last week, where by Tennessee, under his stewardship of the economic side of things, he was appointed by Governor has Them to lead Tennessee's economic coordination and under his tenure, it was just one year after he left, Tennessee was the single most reliant state on

China and trade from China in the entire Union. So I think just at the beginning of seeing all of this come to pass and come to fruition, and a credit to the people who have been on this for a very long time, like Senator Cruz, and indeed people who I haven't been a fan over the past, like Marco Rubio, has done excellent work on this too. But I'm afraid we are just coming to the beginning of it.

And also I think a little bit of buyer beware on these things, caveat emptor some of the people will be jumping on this story just to try and get their names in the headlines. You've got to be able to trust who's saying what, and I suspect and I suggest to the audience that you trust people who have been on this subject for a little bit of time, not people who are coming to it recently, and there are many of them out there. There are some serious experts in this field where you can look at if

you're interested in China's influence in the Western world. But again, I think we're just at the very our set of getting our heads around just how much the Chinese have their hand in Hollywood, in our politicians and beyond speaking. Raheem Kassam, host of the war Room podcast, which, by the way, when is when am I going to be a guest on war Room? Huh? Tell Bannon? You know, you know, quick qui bono, quick pro quo. You know you tell Ben and I miss him. But I also

want to ask Manni. You know that this audience is very a mill or two by the way, he's a nice guy, but this audience knows you very well because you filled in on the show numerous times in the past. We just want to check in, man how are you You're in quarantine, not not you know, specific quarantine, but we're all on lockdown. I should say, you're in lockdown in DC? How's it going down there? And how does

Raheem Kassam pass the time? Well? Washington, DC and Capitol Hill especially, we are very strange places at the moment because you have this situation where if you're not walking down the street wearing a mask, people sort of start looking at you like you've murdered their family or something like that. It's a very you know, rules based way of looking at things. And Mayor Bowser has extended the lockdown in Washington, DC as well. However, in the in

the DMB area, i e. In Maryland and Virginia. Now things are beginning to open up. So a lot of DC types are actually going out to Maryland to get their hair. Obviously you can see I haven't, but I did travel out to how to drive to Kent, Ireland this weekend just to see what was going on and how the reopening was going. And it seems like, you know, people are keen. And by the way, I was a lockdown person. They said thirty days to stow the spread. I was all in favor of that, but it stops

at thirty days, right. We didn't give our permission for that to last any longer. And I am wholly on side of the people who now say say, okay, we've done that. We slow the spread. The hospitals weren't overwhelmed, that's all. We're out to get the nonsense the fauci now and these guys are coming out with that. We can't return to normal until you're all pumpful of this rush. Vaccine is a manifest nonsense and we must be rejected.

And I brought the people, and I've seen some gim owners in New Jersey for instance, and elsewhere who are opening up and opening up safely. I applaud them. It's that kind of intrepid spirit. I think that distances America from the rest of the world. So carry on, keep calm and carry on, as they said. I mean, it's like Raheem could have been handling the reaction during the Blitz. Folks, he's got you covered. Listen to Raheem or we got to have a sniff upper lip, right, that's what the

Brits say. That's exactly right, that that old Blitz spirit comes back again. And you know interesting, keep calm and carry on as a thing was designed during the war, but it wasn't actually deployed very much during the work kind of corn off towards what I say. Let's let's do as they intended with it during during the Second World War. Let's bring it out as a national slogan now, right, keep calm and carry on is exactly what most people in the country and indeed the Western world need to

be hearing right now. Absolutely, man, I'm co sign Righthim Kasam Everybody war Room podcast also the National Pulse for his breaking story just came out now on China and what the Western news media is doing in favor of China. Rahim. Great to see you, man, Stay safe. Thanks very much for having me, Bud, You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Al Qaeda was involved in the strike on the United States back in

December sixth of twenty nineteen. There was this shooting some of you, I'm sure we'll recall, that was out of US Naval base in Florida. Three people were killed. The attacker was a Saudi named second Lieutenant Mohammed Said al Shamrani. He was a member of the Saudi Royal Air Force. He was there as part of a US Navy Navy training program. So we invite this guy in to train him, make him better at his job, and this disgusting piece

of blank terrorists kills our people. And we had thought all along that there was likely a connection here to outside jihadi's forces, and now they have even they have additional evidence. According to FBI Director Christopher Array, the pencil attack was actually the brutal culmination of years of planning. Al Shamrani was actually radicalized in twenty fifteen. Now there were oh, you may recall as well that al Shamrani, one of the instructors, referred to this guy as quote

porn stash, which he really did not like. And initially, if I remember now this is just going off of memory, there may have been some journalists that suggested that that was that it was merely calling him porn stash that led him to go and kill three of our three of our soldiers or three of our military members. And he was he was shot and kill thankfully by a sheriff's deputy right on the scene. So he got he got taken out. So there's not going to be a

trial or anything now. But one of the problems here was that they this was one of those times where they could not access his communications. They couldn't access them because he had an Apple iPhone and they didn't have the codes to get into. It looks like they did manage to get in get past the decryption, but Apple

declined to do so. And this always brings up this very very thorny debate over whether or not people should be companies really should be forced to help the authorities to essentially leave a back door or create an over for the system, because once you do that, now the encryption is inherently weakened. And now it's out there, and given what we've seen with the government, you see with a terrorist, you'd always say, well, of course we should

have that backdoor, right or not. Everyone would say that, but most people would say some civil libertarians out there would probably disagree. But you see this guy Alsham Ronnie, This this scum that killed killed three Americans who were part of this training program trying to help this guy out.

This scum was able to hide at least his plans on his Apple device, And we would all say, well, shouldn't Apple do whatever, you know, whatever law enforce it needs it to in this circumstance to help get around this encryption for what seems to be a directed an outside in attack, meaning outside of the US, foreign directed jihatas plot inside the United States. That took a long time.

I was going to show you what a bunch of of just not only the disgraceful and evil and disgusting, you know, human beings, al Qaida in general, al Qaeda operatives like this guy. But you know, they took years. And so he shoots a bunch of he shoots three innocent people, and then and then he gets blown away by a sheriff's deputy, and you say, what does al Qaida really think they accomplish with this? You know, ultimately what we've seen is they're really just such a bunch

of losers. You know, That's how Trump refers to them, and a lot of journalists get very snide about that. But it's true. The people that do these kinds of things, these al Qaeda or Isis or any of these other whether their sympathizers are directed by these organizations, they're just bad people. They're losers, and their ideology is pathetic and

it's never gonna win. And you know, we've been lucky for a while here and that we haven't had to focus in on these still very real jehottest threat around the world jihadism has received. It took us almost twenty years and a lot of you know, trillions of dollars of expense and counter terrorism operations all over the world and multiple wars. And whether those wars helped gehotism receid or not as a debate for another day. Certainly the one Afghanistan I believe did, but a rock we could

talk about. But this, this this attack in Pensacola was an al Qaeda attack. So, um, that's that's where we are on this one, and I think you'll see people at least reminded m oh and then there was a there was audio. I believe that al Qaeda's branch in Yemen had claimed this attack already, so a QAPS referred to al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. It's considered the most active for external plotting in the world on this because Yemen is a Yemen is a failed state in

the middle of a civil war. It's got so many problems that we could do a whole show just cataloging them. Unfortunately, it's a it's in terrible shape as a place, as a country, but there's freedom for al Qaeda to operate there, to plan there, to train, to engage in more over terrorist activity than it would in a lot of other places around the world. And by the way, in January, US officials according this is according to Al Jazeera, so

I mean, you know, check the source. But US officials announced they were sending home twenty one Saudi military students after an investigation revealed they had posted anti American sentiments on social media pages. I didn't see this until now, or had quote contact with child pornography. What the hell are these Saudi's doing? My god, But let's just focus

in on the anti American sentiment here for a second. Yeah, if you're a visitor in this country and you're putting up anti US posts and you're in a US military installation at rbhest Out, you should go. You have no free speech rights here if you're a foreigner visiting on US soil, on the US military base. So the Saudis said they'd review the conduct of the twenty one to see if they should face discipline. I'm guessing they did in facing scipline. But this was this wasn't al Qaida plot.

He wasn't contact with al Qaida, according to what they found on his phone. They finally got through the encryption, so you know, the terrorists took out three more of ours. Got to remain vigilant. This threat has receded now, but it could come back. And this is something that's still going to stay with us, so we've got to keep an eye on it. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the

iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Team Buck, It's time for Roll Call Roll Call time producer Mark. How was your weekend, buddy, how's everything going? Oh? Pretty well? Well, well I stayed in Yeah, me too, Actually maybe, Joy, no big parties this weekend. Go to make that joke until I can actually go somewhere other than my apartment.

You know, I can understand. Although I will say there were a lot more restaurants open for takeout this weekend than ever had been before, so that was encouraging to see, at least in my area. And I also just there were people all over the streets. I mean everyone's just like, get me out of here. They're all trying to just get outside and get air, and which is good. I mean I wish that they didn't feel like they all

had to be wearing masks. I mean, I see like twenty two year olds on electric scooters with a mask on. I'm like, what do you what is that? But I know the mask politics, it is what it is. I mean I can barely exercise without a mask. I can only imagine with one. It wasn't gonna be really uncomfortable. I think people have really thought this through. When it gets to be eighty eighty five degrees and you have to actually be outside and do things to have a

mask on. This is gonna suck. Okay, doctors wear masks indoors in air conditioned offices and hospitals. They're not walking around outside, you know, going for a jog in the park with a mask on. This is nuts. Yeah, I mean I think I might still I'm still gonna do it in grocery stores are any indoor confined space, but I'm not doing it outside. Do you watch any good movies all the weekend anything like that? My wife had never seen the FX series on the OJ Trial, so

we watched. I know, she's stuff like that is news to her. It just amazes me. But we watched that and she loved it. I'm I watched her for the second time. It was great. It's fantastic. I think it's the best thing Cuba Gooding Junior has ever done. Oh yeah. He portrays OJ so well in that. He is he is amazing in that. And I also think that there's a scene there with uh Ron Pearlman was the Ron Rono was his name. The guy who was killed was

Ron Goldman. Ron Goldman, m Ron Goldman his father. When he sits down with Marsha Clark, that scene, that scene like haunts you, you know, oh yeah, where the guy is just like yeah, everyone's just talking about this, what about you know, what about my son who was a really good guy and did nothing wrong and had nothing

like I had nothing to do with any of this. Really, I mean in some ways, you're just like he was just you know, I mean, obviously the guy murders his wife, he's a psychopath, but there's just a guy who's standing next to him, and no one even talks about that. Really, I mean, that doesn't get any It's just even today, people still forget about him. And look, I mean, I mean I stum remembered his first name. I stumbled on

his last name just because he didn't. Everyone knows Nicole, and you know Nicole Brown Simpson, right, I ever knew that she she his wife's beautiful woman. She's murdered, mother of his children, murders her. I mean, it's just so horrific. But there was this other guy who was just there who murdered with her, and you know, it is a double murder. I mean that's you know, the OJ was. OJ didn't just kill the wife and mother of his

own children. He was willing to kill a guy who just happened to be there well, and the fact that he I will never do. Wait, how old were you when that verdict? Gosh, I was at ninety six when the verdict came down, and I was three. Yeah, I was gonna say, do you remember? But no, you know, I do not. I remember it. It's the only time when I was in grammar school that all the teachers they had like little radios in the rooms, which I didn't, you know, maybe we could get to the bomb shelters.

It was some old like Soviet you know thing. I don't know because I didn't realize that we would have had these little, these little old school radios in the room, and they all had them. And do I say room funny? But I say room funny, don't I? Yeah, a little bit. This is the snow Princess is pointing this out that I kind of say, almost like rum but yeah, I don't like Stewie from the From a Family Guy. Yeah, I sound like Stewart. My little sister has actually said

that before. Yes, you you sound like Seth McFarland. I do. Yeah, who is the voice of Stuie and Peter and most of the characters. Actually yeah, interesting. Um so anyway, but I remember when the OJ bird came down and I was that was stunning because it was the first time as I was, like, I was kind of a little kid. I was like, justice will prevail, Like he's going to prison, Like I was only the eighth grade. But we all knew the guy did it. Couldn't have been more obvious, right,

And nope, justice did not prevail. It was a real moment. It was a real wow. Every one of the countries in those twelve jurors knew that he did it, and I think by the way, I think they knew that he did it too. But it wasn't about right. When you get this from the show, it wasn't about that. It was about right. It was about other stuff. It wasn't about the fact that he was a double murderer. Oh oh my gosh. Anyway, Kyle writes in here, Buck, you were talking about the progressive grab bag that is

the Heroes Act. One of the things I noticed was suspending federal student loan payments until September twenty twenty one. I think that's meant to condition people to get used to not paying their student loans. At all, and as

a logical step toward advocating simply forgiving the debt. As September twenty twenty one approaches, My wife and I sacrifice luxuries and lived on one income to pay off six figures of student loan debt in less than five years, while friends of ours with similar debt took vacations and bought their first home. We're doing well now, and the thought of us being taxed in the future to help forgive the education choices made by others is infuriating. This

was a story of the ant and the grasshopper. Democrats want to punish the ant and reward the grasshopper. I don't actually know the story of it. Do you know the story of the end? I mean, I can figure it out from context, but from cont I can figure it out. But no, I don't know. Yeah, but as long as the praying man just can still kill the murder hornets, we're all gonna be. Okay. Did you see that video? I did not. It's amazing you have. It's

a video when viral. You know, when the murder hornet, you know, you know about the murder horns can talk about in the show. I'm also good I also gonna say something. The French bulldog that killed its owner turns out it was a pit bull mix, doesn't really count. I'm not throwing shade at pit bulls because oh my gosh, your inbox gets wild. I'm not throwing shade at pit bulls. Okay, and other of them can be lovely pets. I knew you guys all know I love dogs. Everyone can just cool.

They're cool. There's just this is the pit bull is up there with the vaccine discussion as a general matter where you feel like you could talk about it, but people have very strong opinions on it. So and the pit bull people are actually right, see producer Mark Is. The people are actually right. So yeah, but it's it was a pit mix with a French bulldog because the French bulldog is just not large enough and powerful enough to kill a person. Okay, that's like saying you're chihuahua

killed you. It's just not didn't make any sense. Turns out that it was a mix with a pit bull, so it's substantially larger and more powerful than a standard and it had been in a fighting ring. Okay, So I'm just saying, so you're not I was like, talu, am I being too slow with your chicken over the weekend. You know. It's like she started looking at me like do I look like a big drumstick walking around this place? I don't know, But no, she would never. She just

wants her belly scratched. Oh but the murder hornets. Yeah, there's a video of a praying mantis against her murder hornet. A praying mantis takes out that murder hornet. No problem, That does sound awesome. I'll have to look it up. Yeah you should. It's actually worth seeing. She's like, damn praying mantis is there? There's a reason why they have their own kung fu style? You see what I did there? I didn't. Yeah, well, yeah it's good, Okay, I'll move on. Kenny.

You're right about the people with cancer who can't get checked because of the lockdown. My mother in law just had surgery to remove cancer. We found out it had spread, were on lockdown and doctors were not allowed to perform the procedure. We will never know whether the two weeks we waited made the difference, but to suggest the lockdowns have no cost, it's clearly wrong. Kenny. I'm so sorry. And this was foreseeable for the country as a policy.

Matter of course, this kind of tragic circumstance was going to happen. But we were not allowed when we were discussing policy, Kenny, we were not allowed to have a discussion about this and what the effects would be. You know, we were not allowed to bring this in. If you did, you just you don't care enough about you know whatever it was frontline workers or granny or whatever. And it's like, well, what about granny that might get cancer? What about your mom?

What about you? Right? What about anybody who might get cancer? I don't know that that wasn't allowed to be a part of the discussion. Kenny also writes, also, I'm a second year at Harvard Business School. Well, Kenny, very nice, very impressive, sir. It's pretty woke, But I try to spread freedom. Yeah, you do. You listen to this show? Just a quick defensive Harvard. They neither requested nor received any money from the Cares Act. They shouldn't have been

blamed for Qualified lying for the nine million. The Cares Act allocated money to colleges, and Harvard qualified, but they never asked for nor receive the money. There are lots of things these woke schools do wrong. But in this case the conservative anger was misdirected if the people who it was the people who wrote the bill who were slopping, not the school's fault. Kenny noted, thank you for the update. That sounds about right, considering how many holes and problems

there were in the bill Other than that. Eric Kaybuck just finished watching the new Jerry seinfeldt special. As a married man of fifteen years, I have to say his bid on marriage was spot on food for thought for you to prepare for the snow princess, whoever she might be. Well, thank you very much, Eric. Producer Mark and I both really enjoyed enjoyed that special. I still laugh about the porta Potti thing whatever I think about it, but yes,

it's Do you remember the married part of it? Mark? Yeah, this is gonna stick out to I know we talked about it, but I can't remember what the bid It was usual, you know, jokes about your wife nagging you and stuff like, Okay, fair enough, Seinfeld, I get it. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. All right, more roll call here in the Freedom Hunt with producer Mark and yours truly, Jake. Yesterday my wife went shopping and came home with the comment,

when are things going back to normal? I think a lot of people are wondering that, and my answer is, while President Trump is an office, maybe never. But if nonspecific Democrat is elected president, then the flipping of the script will be immediate and jarring. As long as dem media see what I did there, very nice Jake can scare people into staying home or wearing masks. Trump will

suffer and the economy will be collateral damage. But they're smart enough to know that normalcy only returns when public opinion is fully flipped into thinking we have to be brave and go back to living our lives, knowing the cost. That's when the elites get to lecture us on our courage. Friends lecture us on quote courage. Friends go shopping on their nauseating TikTok videos now filmed on their beachfront instead of their den full of important looking books. The credibility shelf,

which is an important thing for your live hits at home. See, I have incredibilities, credibilities stacked behind me here in the freedom hunt because my apartment is so small don't even really have a form of bookshelf in here because my apartments so small. So that's how that's how living large. We are here in the Freedom Hunt. No bookshelf because no room, because apartment too small. But I have books. David, Hey, Buck, I cannot get through a day without listening to your program.

You provide so much important information that I would never hear from the mainstream media. I listened to your show for several years on Boston twelve hundred talk radio, but recently discover what podcasts are and subscribe to the buxx and podcast. It is great, well, thank you so much, man, But I was wondering what is more beneficial for your show in ratings listening on the radio or on the podcast.

I love the podcast, but if it be more beneficial for me to listen on the radio, I will switch back. The answer, David is it's great on both man. Whatever is easiest for you, whatever you can most consistently and comfortably listen, whatever way that that's the way to do it. So please do continue to listen if you love the like listening on the podcast. Bucksex and dot com is now a place where we have the podcast for you to listen. You can go on Spotify, you can go

on Apple Podcasts and the iHeartRadio app. Yes, the iHeartRadio app I Heeart Radio being the company that we work for, could call Mark, so yes, that those would be the ways you can do it. And you know what, David, and thank you so much for listening. But the best thing you could also do is, if you've got some friends you know are conservatives, please share with them the podcast and explain it. I mean, I listen to books on tape now, I mean I'm somebody who is really

always operating in the audio world. I don't really I don't really listen to other podcasts. I'll listen to some history podcasts multi I know, guys, it's coming. But I know there's other history podcasts out there. I'll listen to them sometimes just out of curiosity because I like history. But if you could tell somebody so they would listen, that would be the single most effective, most helpful thing

you could do to help the Freedom Hut. Keep the doors open, you know, Otherwise, otherwise Producer Mark is gonna end up. You know, I don't know, Producer Mark is gonna open up a Italian restaurant with good food, but grouchy service, and we don't want that. I would open up a bar and name it puzzles, named puzzles, Yeah, why puzzles? Do you not get the reference? No, so from how I met your mother Barney and Ted wanted

to open a bar and name it puzzles. Wow, you just snuck into how much how I had your mother reference past me I did. I'm gonna hang my head in shame. I should have gotten that. I'm sorry about that. I thought you would, so I figured that was an easy roll. I know, I love that. I love that show, and I feel like I feel like a lot of not a lot of Team Buck really watched that that show.

I think it's great for what it is. And also there's a lot of nostalgia for me because as a guy who's been in New York and been single for many years, the show resonates. The show resonates for sure, and I you know, that's where it's where I learned about the Hot Crazy Scale, for example, which is a is a thing, the Hot Crazy Scale. I'm not saying that. I so I'm not saying that I subscribe to it just in case. The Snow Princess is hearing this. You know,

I'm not saying we don't. There's no such thing as a hot crazy scale. And yeah, it's just a thing that i've heard about from the show that I do not rely on at all. It's not no, no, okay. Next one, Corey writes Bruiser Mark is awesome. He's smart. Corey knows how to get in the roll call. Hey, guys, I just wanted, as a reaction at Red China's obvious negligence and response to the RONA, why doesn't the US open an embassy in Taipei, Republic of China as a

result recognizing them as a country. It would punish the punish the CCP at home by not being able to bring the country a hole as they see it, and push back on the influence in the region. Cory, I mean, it's a good idea, except that would be seen as super provocative by the Chinese Communist Party and no one

has them. I need to find a word to say when someone doesn't have the because you know, in common language, we would all we all know what the word is that I want to use, but I feel like I shouldn't say that on the radio, and so I end up saying gall. But that sounds like I'm, you know, missus doubtfire up here or something. It's like, oh, he doesn't have the gall to pull that off. Like we all know, can we say no, that's that's that's just

a that's an Espanol. You can't just go with an Espanol, okay, But I mean the same idea. I don't know. Also, I mean I feel like I shouldn't, you know, I feel like that B word for some of the audience we got. We got some young folks listening and everything else, and it's a little I don't know, I think it's a little, a little brash, a little on the edge. What do you normally play sports with? Book? I mean, yes,

that is true. There usually are balls in sports, yes, soccer ball, basketball, But to say that one had but you know, it's tough. There's a lot of phrases. See. The problem is that phrases become they kind of get numbed over time, and we all use it more and more. You know, like when when you run around you call someone a jerk, for example, which is acceptable. We're allowed to say jerk, that guy's a jerk, But you know,

you get too into the derivation. It's true. Also, you know you you say you talk about people who are you know, an idiot? For example, you're talking about some of these words we use, you know, the history of them, but we've those are now considered acceptable to use. But it's always changing, It's always changing. Brandon writes, Hey, Buck, I just saw that Tides of History just in an episode on the Siege of Malta. I can't wait for yours? Is it going to be posted a normal podcast link?

What the hell is Tides of History? And why are they doing a Malta thing? Well, probably because you've been talking about it for three months? Who the who the heck is Tides of History? And why are they stealing my Malta thunder here I've written, I've read like five books on Malta in the last month. Tides of History. I gotta see what? And now I'm of course giving them free advertising on the show, even by mentioning it. Oh it's um. I have no idea. I don't even

know if it exists. I'm I'm gonna look it up. Who cares? Because my Malta podcast will be amazing. I'm gonna leave it there. Friends, Thank you so much for joining as always appreciate it, Thank you so much for being here, and yeah, good to go, shield Hie. Everybody
